NHL Roundup: Capitals beat Canadiens, Luongo passes Sawchuk
Recapping all of Monday night’s action in today’s NHL Roundup.
Monday night was a relatively soft schedule in the NHL with only four games. However, it was quite the eventful night. Not only did the Washington Capitals beat the Montreal Canadiens, Florida Panthers goaltender Roberto Luongo put his name in history, passing Terry Sawchuk to stand alone in fifth place on the career wins list.
In honor of everyone’s favorite tweeting goaltender, here are Luongo’s five best tweets of all-time.
Why does every player highlight involve them scoring a goal on me @TSN_Sports @tsnjamesduthie ???

Congratulations Luongo. Even if for some odd reason you aren’t enshrined in the Hockey Hall of Fame, hopefully your Twitter account is.
Monday’s Scores
FloridaPanthers3
Luongo passed Terry Sawchuk with his 448th career win. He also got the shutout. Reilly Smith got the lone goal with Cory Schneider in net, as Jussi Jokinen and Vincent Trocheck each got empty net goals.
WashingtonCapitals4
Alex Ovechkin naturally tied Maurice “Rocket” Richard in career goals in Montreal. Go figure. He also had three points while Evgeny Kuznetsov picked up two. Braden Holtby only allowed one goal and the Capitals are red hot heading into their Wednesday’s matchup against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Ovechkin has the chance to get his 1,000th career point and pass Richard at home.
CalgaryFlames0
Connor Hellebuyck got his third shutout of the season, stopping each of the 28 shots he saw. Dustin Byfuglien and Blake Wheeler scored for the Jets.
DallasStars6
The first 40 minutes saw a combined four goals between the two teams. In the final 20 minutes, the Stars and Kings scored a total of six goals. A ludicrous game that ended with a much needed win for Dallas. Jiri Hudler got the game winning goal after the Stars blew a 3-1 lead and a 4-3 lead. Peter Budaj and Kari Lehtonen stopped 34 of the 43 shots they faced. Tyler Seguin had an absurd seven shots on goal.
